The new Section 503 regulations require federal contractors to conduct an annual utilization analysis and assessment of problem areas, and establish specific action-oriented programs to address any identified problems. There’s never been a better time to consider partnering with organizations like the National Organization on Disability (NOD).
The NOD is a private, non-profit organization that promotes the full participation and contributions of America’s 56 million people with disabilities in all aspects of life. Today, NOD focuses on increasing employment opportunities for the 79 percent of working-age Americans with disabilities who are not employed.
Starting September 10, the NOD has an opportunity for employers to enroll in Year 2 of the Disability Employment Tracker. This initiative offers companies across a range of industries the following benefits:
- Confidential assessment of your disability and veteran employment practices
- Benchmarking against other participants and industry-specific benchmarking, where statistically notable
- Leading practices to educate internal stakeholders on successes and opportunities
- PLUS, starting this year, DiversityInc will consider completion of the Disability Employment Tracker™ a significant factor when determining their Top 10 Companies for People with Disabilities
- Free of charge to all companies
To enroll, email tracker@nod.org or visit www.NOD.org/tracker for more information.
